investing is like playing lego

i came across this thought in answering a friend on some companies a while ago and decided to pen it down.

at first onset, people might ask me, how it is similar to lego?

well, once a few core companies are identified and bought into, the dividends which are produced need to be repositioned in these companies or even into new companies. in an interesting analogy, this is like playing lego, ie we want to make the structure stronger than before.

cheers!!!
